Sunny, quiet flat in the heart of Venice, near Rialto Bridge
BiancaTea apartment is located on the sunny second (topmost) floor of an ancient (Byzantine remnant decorations on the facade), typical Venetian three-storey building, looking onto the private Corte de Ca' Amadi, in the pulsing heart of Venice (see map!); Rialto Bridge and St. Mark Square are just 5 minutes walk away. The vaporetto (water bus) Rialto stop is also very close (5 minutes), so you do not need to pull your trolleys up and down many bridges on arrival/departure.
Plenty of restaurants, shops, supermarkets, cafes and bars are at hand to make your stay charming and easy going. Our apartment guide will reveal you the "secrets" of nearby area to experience the true Venice like a true Venetian. Though centrally located, the peaceful and private Corte de Ca' Amadi, once the courtyard of the XV Century Palace of the silk merchant family Amadi, with its ancient staircase and the marble well, is “far from the madding crowd" of the Venice grand-tour. Marco Polo houses are only 50m far.
The Malibran Theater (location of concerts from classic to pop), is just 50m away. New luxury T Fondaco (T Galleria) shopping center is only 2 minutes away. La Fenice (Venice Opera House) and Goldoni (Venice Drama and Comedy House) Theaters can be also reached in less than 10 minutes.
The apartment is only 10 minutes walk from the ferries leading to the islands: Lido (beaches), Murano (glassware artesans), Burano (pictoresque fishermen village), Torcello (VI century churches), San Michele (the quiet, monumental cemetery, where many international famous people like Igor Stravinskij, Ezra Pound, Antony Quinn decide to rest).
